Big enough, no?

Okay so last night I went to bed and all was fine. Around 2am, SO (significant other) and I did the no pants dance, and all was still well. No pains nothing. Well I woke up around 8:30am with awful pains all over my belly, more to the bottom of my belly then top and more along my sides then middle and down along my hips. I explain to SO (significant other) that it feels like a cross between really bad gas and a pulled muscle. SO (significant other) asked if I was okay alright because this hurts like something awful, it hurts to even put my clothes on. Well while I laid in bed I realized she's not active today yet. I generally go to bed and get up to wiggles. I have a home doppler so I decided let's listen, and found her low on my left side (assuming head down). She's been all over from transverse to breach. She's not big enough to make a turn hurt right? Like flipping from transverse head down or the full breach to head down. It wouldn't cause this kind of pain right? I'm thinking it's a pulled muscle or round ligaments. I have an ob appointment tomorrow morning so I will be asking then but trying to decide (I'm thinking it's flipping pains or RLP mostly because I sleep however) if she's big enough at 25+3 to make a turn hurt

I agree with calling your doc...that sounds pretty intense, especially for still being in second trimester. Glad you found her heartbeat!! I do agree, her turning shouldn't hurt at all at this point. I remember not feeling my son flip towards thr last few weeks of that pregnancy. Hope you feel better soon!

It sounds like a mixture of RLP and aches from your body after increased physical activity. While I'm usually completely up for DTD (do the deed) even in pregnancy, a few weeks ago DH (dear husband) woke me up before our alarms went off feeling frisky. I was tired but played along and was sore (tmi) the rest of the day. The day after I felt like I had been working out for 6 hours straight the day before. A few days ago he tried to wake me up to DTD (do the deed) again before the alarms went off and I swatted him away because I wanted to milk every moment of just laying there not moving until the alarm did go off and it just made him laugh uncontrollably. There's maybe been like twice in the entire time that we've been together that I've said no to DTD. My verbal excuse? "I'm too pregnant this morning to deal with your dick. Call back another day." which just made him laugh more.

If the pain doesn't increase today and you are still feeling movement, I'd just wait until your already scheduled appt that you mentioned is tomorrow - and mention it to OB to make sure it's nothing more serious to get checked out. We're in that awkward phase where everything hurts all the time - but I don't want to say not to ever get checked out. You know your body best, trust your judgement and go in somewhere if it would give you peace of mind.

Thanks ladies. I'm currently laying down. And she's moving more like a muffled feeling but when she kicks, it's like a relief. Sounds silly. But I may call in a bit, my sides have stopped hurting. It's just now my lower belly.

I'm not sure what it could be...probably nothing since pregnancy seems to just be full of aches and pains! But I was going to say that my baby did some kind of movement this morning that was so "big" it made me jump! Like, her body was in a position where I could feel a hard spot on my belly and when I put my hand there she moved in that spot and it was the strongest movement I've felt yet. Cool, but kind of unnerving ya know?

So I took my kids to their dentist appointment. It's still been hurting a bit so I put a call in to the nurse. Waiting on a call back now. So while I wait, I've taken 2 tylenol and am slowly sipping a half soda then over to water.
